sebchorney: #edirol_ma_15d Hey Erik, that is quite a bit of boost on that EQ ;-)

I have a pair of Yamaha NS-10s and Genelec 8050s, which I would recommend you consider for your next set of monitors, especially if you find yours to be flat and tinny without EQ. (they should sound GREAT without any EQ at all)

Incidentally, since the NS-10s and Genelecs are used in so many recording/mix studios these days, listening to music on them is like "recalibrating" your ears: you're probably hearing the song EXACTLY as the studio engineer heard it on the day they mixed it.

BTW are you using the digital or analog inputs? Sep 5, 08

sebchorney: #edirol_ma_15d To avoid any confusion on the part of your readers, I think it's worth pointing out that these are truly NOT "reference speakers". Even the Edirol website calls them "High Performance Desktop Monitors".

The Edirols may be competent speakers for gaming, or other light audio or video editing, but it's definitely inaccurate to call them "reference monitors" in the same product category as the Genelec 1031, for instance, on which a great number of studio albums of the last 10 years have been mixed, and which you'll readily see in most every professional recording studio today.

By the way, the Yamaha MSP5's are a great value in this category and their sound is quite acceptable. Oct 27, 07
